Well...I have finally decided to create a blog to document the adventures of my summer study abroad trip to Ireland. I have never "blogged" before and am not much of a writer, but many people have asked me to consider starting a blog so they can read about my trip. I figure it will provide an easy way to keep in contact with the many people that I am going to miss while I am gone in addition to providing efficient communication. So here it goes...
I leave in two days for what people have been telling me will be the "greatest adventure of my life." I have to say that this summer will be very different from my last few summers, which consisted of working at the paper mill, spending time with family and friends, and working out. I do not have a summer job, working out may consist of nightly walks to local pubs, and I will be spending my time with friends that I have yet to meet (:
I am beyond excited and a bit apprehensive. I have never flown anywhere in the United States solo, let alone across an ocean to a different continent. As I pack my suitcases (which are already jammed full and likely over the weight limit) I am trying to imagine what my life will be like on the Emerald Isle. I really have no idea what to expect, other than what Miss Cory Cooper has told me about from her trip last year. I am arriving a day earlier than the rest of the group (thank you Office of International Ed. for posting the WRONG date of arrival! ) A friend and I will be staying at a B&B in Shannon on Saturday night and then meeting up with the rest of the group on Sunday.
wish me luck as I finish packing, say my goodbyes, and travel 4000 miles away from home!
